Why don't Sikh brides cover their heads?

Sikh women are perhaps the MOST deluded and non-practicing to the point of self-loathing and sikhi-hating kind I see in the world of any communities

Do you think this is because media brainwashes us to think that lots of makeup is "true beauty"? I think that this is the biggest problem.

I have seen this a lot, I think that when you go to the gurdwara (or anywhere in general but especially the gurdwara) you should be simple because you are being disrespectful right in front of Guru Ji. Vaheguru Ji has given you a beautiful face, yet you think that you can do a better job by painting your face. This is the nature of humans, we long for what we don't have. Everyone is pretty and beautiful in their own way. We should be thanking Vaheguru for giving us guidance (with Sikhi) in this life yet we waste it by worrying about how we look.

This is a very beautiful image.  If only I saw it more at the Gudwara.  All that indigo, a woman with a kara and kirpan visible, her husband with full length kirpan with yellow cord, both of them wearing the paaj in dumala, all those other guys in indigo, and the ones in western clothing having indigo paaj to, one even with a yellow fifty!  It's amazing!

My earlier comment is that I don't feel women are involved in Sikhi as much as they were in the past.  They are wives kept out of discussion when women are so important in our history.  I'm not a feminist, but I don't understand my own feeling on this.

Yes it is a beautiful image and I agree women are not as involved as they used to be.
